Day 8-9: Drive to Everest Base Camp 4900m with good views of Everest en route We will also have one rest day before starting our trek to ABC. Our Yaks should arrive in the evening or early the next morning. (C,B,L,D).

Day 10: Trek to the intermediate camp before the base camp of Everest. It is further 4 hours of walk and the altitude at this point is 5150m just above the terminal moraine of the Gyabrag Glacier. (C,B,L,D).

Day 11: Trek further up and arrive at the Advanced Base Camp of Everest at 6500m.The walk takes about 7 hours.(C,B,L,D).

Day 12-14: Rest days. (C,B,L,D).

Day 15: Acclimatisation walk to Lake Camp at 6000m.

This day will allow the team to explore the route out across the glacier from ABC to the beginning of the scree slope, which is the start of our climb on Everest. (C,B,L,D)

Day 16-20: Set up Camp 1 at 6400m (frequent moves between the high camp and base camp)

Everyone in the group transfers the essentials to higher camps. The climb from base camp to high camp normally takes 4-6 hours and offers a fairly stiff climb at above 6000m. (C,B,L,D).

Day 21-23: Camp 2 at 7100m

The journey up to camp 2 at 7100m involves climbing a steep 60 metre ice wall at around 6800m. With fixed lines this is a relatively straightforward task. Normally the journey takes 6-8 hours. (C,B,L,D).

Day 24: Rest day at ABC. (C,B,L,D).

Day 25-27: Advance higher up to Camp 3 at 7500m

We ascend to Camp 2, this time to spend a night or two above 7000 metres. It is also possible to climb up to Camp 3 at 7500m. After this, members may wish to spend a number of days at base camp resting and building strength prior to making their summit bid. (C,B,L,D).

Day 28-29: Rest Day. (C,B,L,D).

Day 30-10: Summit Days

It takes 8-10 hours to reach the summit. Initially we ascend up easy snow and rock to the summit plateau at which point it is only altitude, weather and fitness that will stop you reaching the sixth highest summit. The views across the summit plateau will include the other Himalayan giants: Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Menlugste and the beautiful Ama Dablam. If we are successful in climbing the mountain early then we will leave base camp early. (C,B,L,D).
